Photograph on paper

Signed certificate of authenticity.

The series of work ‘Edge’ was a collaboration between Stephen Blanch and Bonnie Sevil and involves using vintage Polaroid cameras and expired Polaroid films where the uncontrollable effects of the film add to the allure of the work.

The series ‘Edge’ is divided into two different techniques, ‘Obscura’ and ‘Fade to Black’ both investigate notions of anxiety, fear and fragility.

Obscura includes a series of images that were created on the beaches and coastline of the Northern Rivers, NSW. The imagery was created using a hand assembled, cardboard, Pinhole Polaroid camera and 669 peel-apart Polaroid film.

The Polaroids were made using varied exposure times, between 2 seconds to 5 minutes, depending on the available light at the time. The combination of the long exposure times and the qualities of the film enabled the images to have beautiful saturated colours and dream-like ethereal qualities.

Also in this series were an edition of 6 light boxes, the images generated by a plastic camera and traditional medium format film.

The image is printed 90 x 65cm onto a paper size of 100 x 75cm, meaning there is a 5cm white border all around the artwork to aid in matt framing the Photograph.

The image can be printed to any smaller size or surface, please let us know what you would like.
